implfuture

A primary factor in choosing my latest job was having an office to go into. I’ve been going in M-F and love working in person again. I don’t think forcing everyone back is necessarily the right strategy, but instead encouraging teams to re-form around people with similar preferences.

One thing to be careful of when going multi-cloud is the network egress fees between the two.

Hi HN!

I'm an infra engineer with video and applied cryptography experience. I'm also branching out into xr and rendering, with my eye on hard-tech use cases. I'm never afraid to dive into an RFC (I've implemented pieces of SSH, PGP, VP8, RTP). My k8s experience also runs deeper than just deploying yamls -- I have written controllers/operators for more specialized workloads.

I have been a rustacean since the 1.0 release in 2015. In my experience the steeper learning curve has paid off in dividends as codebase size scales. I love teaching and have helped multiple coworkers learn rust to proficiency. I'm comfortable being the first to bring rust to an org (microservice best practices, CI setup, dev environments etc) and have deployed rust to most targets (server, lambda, macOS, Windows, iOS, android, web frontend, steamVR, Oculus).

If you think there's a potential fit let's chat! :)

I'm full-time exploring VR, video, and some hard tech problems, primarily using rust.

A few things I'm poking around with:

- VR molecule visualization in bevy (a la pymol)

- real-time video production also in bevy

- VR instruments

Based in SF, always down to chat with people with similar interests!

You can do passwordless login already with WebAuthn. It's just a matter of sites integrating it. https://webauthn.guide/

> the search experience from the taskbar is one such example of an end-to-end experience that is not designed to be redirected

The bing searches that appear in my taskbar search have never been useful and just pollute the local results I’m looking for. I’ve tried disabling them with regedit tricks to no avail.

Nice post! Might be worth mentioning that some data structure implementations already exist in std or as a crate, i.e. std::collections::BTreeSet and petgraph. While it’s good to understand how Rc/Weak/raw pointers work, I always check if there is a battle-tested version of what I need before reaching for them.

Will this support native windows? The main reason I have switched to nushell is because it is cross platform

My daily driver is Debian WSL2, using wezterm (highly recommend) + tmux for terminal, and vscode integration for IDE. Aside from struggles getting custom subdomains to point to localhost, things have been quite stable.

I never thought I’d be saying this, but I find the Windows window manager the best out of the box, and as a bonus I get to do my unreal/vr dev side projects without booting into another OS.

Does this replace the winapi crate? I’ve been using that crate for things like IAudioClient3, but it seems to have fallen out of regular maintenance https://github.com/retep998/winapi-rs

For vscode users, I recently discovered you can right-click any line and select “copy remote uri.” The copied link takes you right to that line on github (useful for quickly pointing someone to a line of code over slack).

How would allowing people to optionally come back cause a mass exodus? Do you think they would feel pressured and instead decide to leave?

Check out FoundationDB! It’s a distributed key value store with strictly serializable txns by default.

This is so awesome! Any tips on parallelizing/is it async compatible? I personally found granular error handling combined with parallelization to be impossible to get just right in pure bash.

Awesome demo video, really excited to see where this goes! Are there any use cases that people complain zoom is insufficient for?

There are many reasons, but to name a few important to me: rust gives performance on the level of C++, but with the memory safety of a garbage-collected language. It also provides protection against data races so that you can use concurrency with less chance of hard-to-debug issues.
